Staging: android: binder: Allow using highmem for binder buffers

2012-10-31T17:02:58+00:00

commit 585650dcec88e704a19bb226a34b6a7166111623 upstream.

The default kernel mapping for the pages allocated for the binder
buffers is never used. Set the __GFP_HIGHMEM flag when allocating
these pages so we don't needlessly use low memory pages that may
be required elsewhere.

Staging: android: binder: Fix memory leak on thread/process exit

2012-10-31T17:02:57+00:00

commit 675d66b0ed5fd170d6a44cf8dbb3fa56a5347bdb upstream.

If a thread or process exited while a reply, one-way transaction or
death notification was pending, the struct holding the pending work
was leaked.

Merge branch 'x86-x32-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip

2012-03-30T01:12:23+00:00

Pull x32 support for x86-64 from Ingo Molnar:
 "This tree introduces the X32 binary format and execution mode for x86:
  32-bit data space binaries using 64-bit instructions and 64-bit kernel
  syscalls.

  This allows applications whose working set fits into a 32 bits address
  space to make use of 64-bit instructions while using a 32-bit address
  space with shorter pointers, more compressed data structures, etc."

Staging: android: binder: Fix use-after-free bug

2012-03-09T21:14:08+00:00

binder_update_page_range could read freed memory if the vma of the
selected process was freed right before the check that the vma
belongs to the mm struct it just locked.

If the vm_mm pointer in that freed vma struct had also been rewritten
with a value that matched the locked mm struct, then the code would
proceed and possibly modify the freed vma.

Staging:android: Change type for binder_debug_no_lock switch to bool

2012-03-07T21:18:51+00:00

GCC warns that module_param_named() indirectly returns a bool type value
which is different from 'int' type binder_debug_no_lock declared. Change
it to bool because it is a internal switch for debugging.

fs: Remove missed ->fds_bits from cessation use of fd_set structs internally

2012-02-24T13:04:50+00:00

Stephen Rothwell reported that the following commit broke the
linux-next build:

  1fd36adcd98c: Replace the fd_sets in struct fdtable with an array of unsigned longs

Fix places where ->fds_bits needed to be removed as the core
kernel no longer uses fd_set internally for file descriptor
table management.  There are two places:

 (1) drivers/staging/android/binder.c

 (2) arch/mips/kernel/kspd.c

     Question: Should sp_cleanup() in the MIPS arch be using find_next_bit()
     or fls()?

Wrap accesses to the fd_sets in struct fdtable

2012-02-19T18:30:52+00:00

Wrap accesses to the fd_sets in struct fdtable (for recording open files and
close-on-exec flags) so that we can move away from using fd_sets since we
abuse the fd_set structs by not allocating the full-sized structure under
normal circumstances and by non-core code looking at the internals of the
fd_sets.

The first abuse means that use of FD_ZERO() on these fd_sets is not permitted,
since that cannot be told about their abnormal lengths.

This introduces six wrapper functions for setting, clearing and testing
close-on-exec flags and fd-is-open flags:

	void __set_close_on_exec(int fd, struct fdtable *fdt);
	void __clear_close_on_exec(int fd, struct fdtable *fdt);
	bool close_on_exec(int fd, const struct fdtable *fdt);
	void __set_open_fd(int fd, struct fdtable *fdt);
	void __clear_open_fd(int fd, struct fdtable *fdt);
	bool fd_is_open(int fd, const struct fdtable *fdt);

Note that I've prepended '__' to the names of the set/clear functions because
they require the caller to hold a lock to use them.

Note also that I haven't added wrappers for looking behind the scenes at the
the array.  Possibly that should exist too.

Staging: android: binder: Fix crashes when sharing a binder file between processes

2012-02-08T22:14:13+00:00

Opening the binder driver and sharing the file returned with
other processes (e.g. by calling fork) can crash the kernel.
Prevent these crashes with the following changes:
- Add a mutex to protect against two processes mmapping the
  same binder_proc.
- After locking mmap_sem, check that the vma we want to access
  (still) points to the same mm_struct.
- Use proc->tsk instead of current to get the files struct since
  this is where we get the rlimit from.
